A WEEKS WORTH OF HEALTHY RECIPES FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER

Hello darlings! Grab your cup of coffee, note pad and get to reading this long post featuring my healthy recipes and what I eat on a daily basis! This post took me many, many hours to put together because I wanted it to be as easy as possible for you guys to have on hand. I added all the ingredients to each of the photos, so you can save them in your camera roll and always come back to them. I will be going over snacks and a few of my favorite items I always have in my rifridgerator and why those items are good for you.

I started my healthy lifestyle 2 years ago and I’ve never felt better! I do it to feel better health-wise and also for myself. I struggled growing up comparing myself to others girls and not loving my body. I am petite in size and unfortunately still struggled in that area. I know many girls who struggle with their image so I hope I can help in some way. Also, I struggled so much with stomach issues and never feeling good health-wise. With this lifestyle change I fee so much better! Changing the way you eat has so much to do with your health and it’s so, so important! I did not grow up working out and eating healthy, so it was a difficult transition. Six months into it, I felt a change in my body. I will never go back and can honestly say I am in the best shape I’ve ever been! I am so happy with the results during this switch and can’t wait to share some of my favorite recipes with you all ! Eating healthy is fun and also really good for you, just be creative with your meals and have fun!

I cook everything Sunday night because it helps me stay on track! I usually cook all the meats, besides fish, because you want that fresh and it cooks so fast. All grains and veggies are also prepared ahead as well as the salad dressings, so that I can have them to-go throughout the week. It always feels so good to get meals prepped for the week! I also cut up all greens and put them in plastic bags to have it ready when I’m cooking for that meal. This is such a life saver for me on those busy days when you don’t want to do anything besides grab french fries from a fast food. Haha! Fries are my weakness!

Before we start, I wanted to share where I shop for food. I usually go to Costco for my organic meats, fish, Turkey bacon, eggs and food that I eat everyday and comes in bulk.

I also shop at Sprouts, Whole Foods and lately it’s been Trader Joe’s. I love buying Trader Joe’s cut up veggies. They have my favorite Cauliflower rice, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts and veggies that are pre-cut, making my life so much easier! I also love their Almond milk for my coffee. Ok, now lets get started!

Here we go…..

I usually eat every breakfast with 2 eggs, toast with avocado, hot sauce, 2 slices of turkey bacon and some tomatoes. There’s days where I switch it up and do shakes, you will see them down below. I workout M-F in the mornings after I get up around 7am. I am more of a morning work out girl, so this works perfect for me. As some of you know, I do Cross Fit as my daily workout.

Mondays breakfast:

Monday lunch:

For Monday lunch, I usually love a good salad and this particular salad has been on repeat. I can eat it everyday! I love kale and the crunchy almonds in it! PS: I added the dressing I used for this salad right below it.

For the salad, I used:

Kale

Sliced almonds (I cooked them on a pan to add crunch)

Chicken seasoning: I use a little bit of Mrs.dash, salt and pepper and cook it on a pan with avocado oil until browned

Dressing for the Kale salad:

1/4 cup of lemon juice

1 tsp lemon zest

1 tbsp onion

1 tbsp dijon mustard

2 tsp agave or honey
